I've carried my Polish P-64 for well over 5 years now, though I admit I haven't shot it terribly much. I took it to the NRA range on Saturday and did some holster practice. Even after not having shot it for a year or two, I was still able to put all 7 rounds onto a chest-sized area at 30 feet, rapid fire.
Now, my P-64 isn't entirely stock. I've done some upgrades. I've switched to an 18-pound hammer spring and the heaviest recoil spring Wolff offers. I also installed Marschall Grips paudauk wood grips and painted the sites with SiteGlo sight paint. These upgrades turn it into an easy to shoot pistol with a pleasant trigger, and largely tame the recoil.
What can I say? For a pistol I paid $160 for 5 years ago, it's proven a reliable and effective piece. Even at the $260 current going rate, they're still a bargain. You get military reliability and better shootability than a Bersa or Ruger. And with the Underwood 9x18 +P rounds, you get both good expansion and optimum penetration.
I'll never feel undergunned with this thing. I have no doubts I could count on it to save my life in an emergency.
